For those 12 months we really did lose the plot in the transfer market.

 

That said Winall was a bargain, then we ruined him.

Think.the plan was to buy him and Hourianne but the dingles wouldn't play nice because we shafted them on the fee.

Not strange, just poor

We signed a forward who was one of the top scorers in the league at the time for a pretty low fee don’t think that can be classed as a poor signing. 
But then buying Rhodes a couple of weeks later and basically blowing all our remaining budget on him was a brain dead decision. That is what’s killed us.

750k what?

 

Not £s surely, don't they trade in donkey stones, balloons and coal slack?

in a questionnaire asking males in barnsley 'whom they shared their first passionate kiss with, 85% stated sister'.

100%. 

I worked with some of the six fingered wonderboys at the time. 

i'm not sure if it was the chairman, or the bloke who pays the money into the club stepped in and played ****up that the dings had sold to wednesday (as he and all their banjo playing fans hate wednesday to the core) stating winnall shouldn't have gone to us, so hourianne wasn't going to be allowed.

so get some money off the multi-digited cants.

At the time, thought he was a tons better signing than Rhodes, he had many very good games for Barnsley.

Didn't work out for either, just cut losses now.

Bidding war between Sunderland, Millwall and Barnsley with no fixed reserve.... winning bud likely to be two buttons, a pack of wine gums and last Tuesdays Daily Mirror. 
 

Sam Winnall goes onto score 10 in second half of season and 20 next year before Norwich or some relegated Orem team by him for 20m making us wonder why no sell on clause inserted.

He’d get lynched by the six fingered masses after his exit from there. Happy to see him go back though. If we could get something for him then that would be a plus. Strange signing given the number of strikers we had at the time.

The stranger signing was buying Rhodes 3 weeks later, I can’t imagine that helped Winnall’s confidence in the club.

You really can't blame the club for not selling Winnall, we shipped him out to Derby (who were going to exercise their clause to buy) before he buggered his knee and spent 15 months out of action. After that injury he hasn't regained any kind of form, so why would anyone offer to buy him, especially when he is potentially available on a free in 6 months?

That loan swap was a bum deal if there if there ever was one.

Who ever we’d have traded, however bad they’d have been, they couldn’t hold a candle to Jacob Butterbrains.

Totally against Barnsley's philosophy when it comes to transfers.

 

They are the archetypal Moneyball club nowadays.

 

Seek value in players by searching foreign, unknown leagues and/or youngsters unfancied by others.

 

Winnall, a 28 year old on £16k a week, simply won't enter their thinking. 

 

Not to mention, I think he burnt a lot of bridges at the club when he left for us a few seasons ago.

Anyway he thinks Winnall is the devil and burns effigies of him still on a daily basis

There was real beef with what he said after leaving there. Shame as it could be a potential escape route from our club. Never played to his strengths after the Brum 3-0 home game. Derby loan was a disaster as we got a loan of a tug midfielder and a broken player back after a few months.
